Time for the procedure to go ahead - at last. Kevin Cabey's bike is about to be operated on by experienced Bike Dr. Keir Apperley MS, Ph.P, Bo.D, Hnz - yours truly; a left hand crank seizure with complications, stripped threads, no good, a chronic case, the theatre is ready...

...across the theatre a young trainee was doing on the job learning; how to use a floor pump in the most effective way possible:

Yet another successful outcome down to the skilled hands of Bike Dr. YT

Better floor pump action

It was a very busy session this evening. Including a visit from local basket ball coach, Joseph who made it to our bike medical centre on his ailing vintage cycle - thanks to Dr. Patrick Field PLt, Gt.R, Lx.R, Hnz and others in attendance, his steed is now back to full health again. Impressed and relieved, Jo has offered to return with a basket ball to perform some hoop skills; a demonstration for us to take place in our court yard next week - all being well.

New member Daniel Rigby gets to grips with his bike, assisted by staff member Kevin Cabey. Enough jokes and funniness came out between these two lads on the case - a comedy act bordering on a health & safety hazard this evening.

We checked his machine over and, by way of thanks - he donated some useful supplies....

Two *le-git bikes destined for the Fawcett Bike club stand locked up outside my door awaiting transport to Upper Clapton Road. The Saracen was donated by a colleague of mine from 'Young Hackney' and the Giant was passed onto me by my neighbour on the ground floor. These gifts (that will keep on giving) are much appreciated and will arrive in the right young hands of proven worth and suitability - as deemed by our team at the centre.
These days we struggle to locate second hand bikes to fuel our project, this is mainly due to Hackney Police maintaining their current policy of exporting accumulated bikes out of the borough and not towards our project occasionally as used to be the case. This is reportedly to avoid the possibility of conflict and problems resulting in unclaimed bikes being released back into the same community that they came from.
So appealing to anyone out there with a legitimate cycle to donate for the cause please get in touch or go direct to the centre at Fawcett EstateGarage 8 on a Thursday evening between 6 & 8pm.

The steady evolution of our base on the Fawcett continues. From redundant space designed for storing one car, into a comfortable and efficient workshop for sharing knowledge, developing new skills and rescuing and refurbishing orphaned pedal bikes.
Here's Roy inaugurating our NEW bin....
